Gamespy review                         4/5

If you guys see some more reviews surfacing, pls post em here. Also not sure how this IGN UK link will hold up in the US/Canada. If any of you at the other side of the pond have problems with it, pls shout.

IGN
Well the review from IGN is in. Pretty quick me thinks. CIV gets a 9/10 but there's some criticism as well.

GameSpy
The GameSpy review, again quite some criticism. What wonders me are two things
1- Reviewer says the game is extremely stable, not exactly what I read around here
2- No more PBEM and no manual save mode in MP. The game does save in MP but CIV decides when, you can't give a manual save order. Wonder what this will mean for us. You don't wanna replay a few turns every time you continue an MP game.
